Through the years, not every Christmas turns out to be perfect. This year, we are sadly disappointed that our special holiday present for you was ruined in delivery. Instead, we bring you the poem “A Christmas Wish,” specially written by Frank Younger for this Christmas season. Also, we re-gift you with a Christmas package of presents from years past.

A CHRISTMAS WISH by Frank Younger

Soon we celebrate again that festive Christmas Day With our fellowship, joy, song and love,And tiny Baby Jesus in His manger filled with hay, A chorus of angels from above.

There's food and decorations. There's Santa and his toys, And families gathered from far and wide -Mom and Pop and cousins, aunts and uncles, girls and boys All congregated around the warm fireside.

Let the spirit of this special time be with us all the year, Let the gladness in our hearts guide what we do.Let our smiles and generosity sincerely shine forth clear - Let the Christmas Spirit live each day in me and you.

A GLITCH STEALS CHRISTMAS by Phyllis Marchese

In my vivid memories, one of those holiday glitches was the year we had the most unusual Christmas tree in the neighborhood.

My Uncle Bud came to our house a few days before Christmas. The plan was for him and my Dad to go shopping for our Christmas tree. After a light lunch, they were off to find a tree. They must have looked for the perfect tree, because they didn’t get home until 10:30 that night.

CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS

From a Christmas past, an ever-present and a timely tale to not let Christmas presents get in the way, lest we forget the true meaning of Christmas.

A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN WALES by Dylan Thomas

Not everyone is happy with a Christmas present received. Not everyone can give the Christmas present they want. What matters, in the end, is to share with family the love and meaning of the Christ child, no matter who is your family.
